beautiful fine sand beaches, the Danube Delta - the largest and best
preserved of Europe’s river deltas, the castles (Bran, Peles, Corvinilor),
the Painted Monasteries in Bucovina or Maramures county – extraordinary for
traditions and folklore, we would like to mention the unknown ones that are
still definitely worth seeing.

Fabrica de Pensule (Paintbrush Factory)At the end of the industrial area of Cluj-Napoca operates an independent
space for contemporary art. Paintbrush Factory is a unconventional place, named
due to its location in the former industrial facility, focuses on an area of
2,000 sqm, 29 contemporary art spaces: artists' workshops, galleries and
cultural organizations active in the fields of visual arts, contemporary dance,
music and theatre (the program is available on the internet in Romanian,
Hungarian and English). The neighbourhood of this cool place for contemporary
art is mostly industrial.

Mud VolcanoesA phenomenon that is pretty rare in the world can be seen in Romania, in
Buzau county. The mud volcanoes are formed due to natural gas coming out of the
ground at a depth of 3,000 m. The gases cross a clay soil and push the water out.
A cold mud comes to the surface forming cones so they appear similar to
volcanoes.

Hoia-Baciu Forest, Cluj–NapocaAllegedly paranormal, this forest has been the subject of many
studies. Witnesses say that they have observed lights, shapes and colours,
strange shadows, voices and human faces appearing and disappearing. Shapes and
even UFOs have been caught on photo camera. Researcher Adrian Patrut says there
are magnetic anomalies, fluctuations of electromagnetic field, emissions
infrasound. Among the most shocking events are the foot tracks that occur on
land on land, snow or grass directly under the eyes of viewers, without
explanation.

Pestera Ursilor (Bears Cave)Bears' Cave is located in the western Apuseni Mountains and it
received its name after the 140 cave bear skeletons which were discovered on
the site in 1983. With a length of 1.5 km, this cave lighted by candles has
beautiful natural sculptures which invite the visitor to an imaginative
spectacle. The biggest cave in Romania is of length of 47 km and it is called
Wind Cave (Pestera Vantului).

Comana
Natural Park (Parcul natural Comana)Only 30 km distance from Bucharest, Comana Natural Park is considered to be
the second Delta in our country. Comana has lots species of birds, fish,
reptiles, plants, mammals. It is the perfect one day trip to relax by walking
in the forest, or go boating or maybe fly with moto-paraglider. Aventura Park
will tempt you as well with climbing for kids and parents. Spending the night
is not a problem, you will find villas that offer great accommodation and

The Merry Cemetery /The Happy Graveyard (Cimitirul
Vesel)The Merry Cemetery is one of the most unusual places to visit in Romania.
Located in Sapinta, the cemetery is a place where resting is seen with joy,
because the soul passes into another dimension. The carved headstones are
painted to illustrate the moments of life that has passed into another
dimension. The paintings are sometimes satirical and accompanied by short
poems.
Ethnologists say Sapinta's laughing cemetery is likely a reflection of
attitudes that come from the time of the Dacians, early inhabitants of Romania,
and have been passed down in folklore ever since. The historian Herodotus said
the Dacians were fearless in battle and went laughing to their graves because
they believed they were going to meet Zalmoxis, their supreme god.

The
largest old-growth forests in Romania are present in the Retezat Mountains. The
park contains a sparsely populated area teaming with wildlife (including
Carpathian brown bears, deer, fowl, etc.), including some of the most
remarkable glacial lakes in the country and offering numerous opportunities for
paragliding, zip lining, hiking and trekking.
